How education loans work in Pakistan
Student financing in Pakistan is offered by some banks and schemes (e.g. HEC/PEEF programs and bank education loans). Terms vary; a moratorium during study with interest/markup accrual is common, with repayment after graduation.
Moratorium & repayment
- Moratorium (study period): usually no payments, but interest often accrues and is added to the principal.
- Grace period: a few months after course completion before repayment begins.
- Repayment: EMIs over the tenure on the grown balance. The calculator estimates your EMI for a given amount, rate and tenure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is an education loan EMI calculated in Pakistan?
After the moratorium, EMIs use the reducing-balance formula on the balance (which has grown if interest accrued during study). Enter your loan, rate and tenure in the calculator.
What is a moratorium period?
The time during studies (plus a grace period) when you usually don't make payments. Interest often still accrues and is added to the principal.
What is the typical education loan rate in Pakistan?
As a 2026 reference, rates are around 14% and depend on the lender, scheme, and whether the loan is government-backed or private. Government/subsidized options are usually cheaper.
Should I pay interest during studies?
If you can, paying the interest during the moratorium prevents it from compounding onto your principal, lowering your total cost.
